Process & Profile
Buzzard's Roost Signature Double Oak Straight Bourbon is a rich, oak-forward bourbon built around the brand’s specialty in secondary barrel maturation. This expression starts as straight bourbon whiskey aged for over four years in new, charred American white oak barrels before receiving additional aging in Buzzard’s Roost proprietary toasted oak casks.
The mash bill is 75% corn, 21% rye, and 4% malted barley, giving the bourbon a classic foundation of sweetness, spice, and structure. The double oak finishing process adds extra layers of roasted nuts, cinnamon, vanilla, almond, caramel, and warm oak while keeping the bourbon balanced and approachable.
Bottled at 100 proof, Buzzard's Roost Signature Double Oak has enough strength for sipping neat while also standing up well in classic bourbon cocktails. The profile is warm, nutty, and lightly spiced, with roasted almonds, savory vanilla, cinnamon, caramel, toasted oak, gentle spice, and a long, smooth finish.

How to Enjoy
Buzzard's Roost Signature Double Oak Straight Bourbon is best enjoyed neat in a whiskey glass so the roasted nuts, vanilla, almond, cinnamon, caramel, and toasted oak notes can open gradually. Let it rest for a few minutes before sipping to allow the double oak finish to show more depth.
A large ice cube works well for a smoother, slower pour, while a few drops of water can bring forward more vanilla, caramel, and nutty sweetness. For cocktails, use it in an Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Boulevardier, Whiskey Sour, or bourbon highball where the 100 proof structure and toasted oak character can stand up to bitters, citrus, vermouth, and ice.
